Chili Spiced Smoked Turkey Breast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Mix together the fennel seed, salt, oregano, onion powder and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Mix together the cornbread and milk in a medium bowl. Allow the mixture to soak for 10 minutes. Stir in the sausage, Pecorino and chili paste. Use your hands to mix well.
• Lay the turkey breasts skin-sides down on a cutting board so that they are open like a book. Pat half the stuffing onto each skinless side, leaving a 1/2-inch border, then close each half so the skin sides are up. Tie each turkey breast tightly with 4 pieces of butcher's twine about 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart. Rub the seasoning mix all over the turkey.
• Lay the bread on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Place the turkey breasts skin-sides up on the bread and drizzle the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil over the tops. Roast 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and continue to roast until the skin is brown and crisp and an instant-read thermometer reads 160 degrees F, about 40 minutes more. Allow the turkey to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• If using charcoal grill, place drip pan with 1/2 inch water directly under grilling area, and arrange coals around edge of firebox. Heat coals or gas grill for indirect heat.
• In small bowl, mix all ingredients except turkey and butter. Loosen skin on turkey breast in 4 or 5 places. Cut butter into small slices; place randomly under skin of turkey. Rub chili powder mixture over entire outside of turkey. Insert barbecue meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of turkey and does not touch bone.
• Place turkey, skin side down, on grill over drip pan or over unheated side of gas grill. Cover and grill over medium heat 30 minutes; turn turkey. Cover and grill 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours longer or until thermometer reads 170°F and juice of turkey is no longer pink when center is cut.
• Remove turkey from grill; cover with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Blend ancho chiles, pasilla chiles, cumin, onion, salt, and pepper together using a spice or coffee grinder into a fine powder. Pour spice blend into a bowl and stir in brown sugar.
• Squeeze lime juice over turkey and rub with spice blend. Let marinate for about 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Reduce grill temperature to medium. Remove turkey from marinade, reserve any excess for basting. Sear turkey breast on the preheated grill, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Turn 1/2 of the grill burners off. Roast breast on the grill for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn turkey over and baste with reserved marinade; cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 15 to 20 minutes more. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine the first 10 ingredients.
• Marinade Turkey breast in a large ziplock bag or dish for 2 hours.
• Soak wood chips in water for at least 1 hour.
• Drain the wood chips well and make a smoke 'bomb' using 1 cup of moistened wood chips wrapped in thick tin foil with numerous holes poked in it.
• Heat BBQ to 350-400.
• When heated turn off the right side. Place smoke 'bomb' on the side with the flame and the turkey breast, skin side up, on the right side of the grill.
• Maintain temperature of grill at about 300 degrees.
• After every hour, replace the smoke bomb with a fresh one.
• Allow meat to cook slowly using indirect heat until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees, approx 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Sprinkle with sage and lemon.
• Tent with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
• ENJOY and wait for the compliments!

Steps:

• If the turkey has skin, dice finely. Chop the turkey in ½ to ¾ inch cubes. Chop the onion and green pepper into medium pieces. Crush the garlic. Put on rubber or latex gloves. If you are using jalapeno for garnish, finely dice it. Finely dice the chipotle in abodo sauce.
• Heat oil in a dutch oven or stock pot. If you have skin, render the fat slowly. Remove the cracklings and snack on them. They are delicious. You deserve it, your dog doesn't.
• Add the onion and green pepper to the pot and sauté until the onion becomes translucent. Add the garlic and cook gently so as not to burn it. Add the dry spices and cook to release the flavors.
• Drain the beans. You may reserve ½ cup of bean liquid to help thicken the chili. I do not like beans, only tolerating cannellinis, lentils, and chickpeas, so I rinse the beans well in a colander.
• Add the turkey, beans, diced green chiles, chile in abodo sauce, chicken broth (and reserved bean liquid if using) to the pot. Stir well. Cover and simmer 30 to 45 minutes. Stir frequently. Add a bit of chicken broth if it is getting dry.
• Taste & adjust seasonings. If the chili is soupy, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of masa harina and stir thoroughly. Cook 10 - 15 minutes more to thicken. If it is too dry, add a little chicken broth.
• Just before serving, add ¼ to 1/3 cup whipping cream. If you are using turkey breast, this dish is very low fat, and the cream will help, especially if you do not like sour cream in your chili. If you make this in advance, do not add the cream until you reheat it.

Steps:

• Rub the Sweet BBQ Rub all over both sides of the turkey. Transfer to a disposable aluminum pan breast-side up and refrigerate overnight, uncovered, to dry brine.
• The day of roasting, let the turkey sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Add the carrots and peppers to the pan and put the turkey on a wire rack above the vegetables.
• Preheat a gas grill, charcoal grill or smoker to 350 degrees F. If using a gas or charcoal grill, set up a smoke box or small disposable aluminum pan with fruit wood chips. Once the smoke is rolling, put the turkey and vegetables on the grill in the pan, close the lid and smoke for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, rotate the turkey and add the stock to the pan to deglaze. Continue smoking until the breast meat registers 160 degrees F and the thighs hit 165 degrees F, another 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Let the turkey rest 45 minutes to an hour while you make the gravy. Remove the carrots and peppers from the pan and set aside. Strain the drippings from the pan using a fat separator.
• To make the gravy, melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk well to make a roux. Slowly add the strained drippings and whisk. Let simmer to reduce to the desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• Slice the turkey and serve over a medley of the smoked carrots and peppers with the gravy on the side.
• Combine the turbinado sugar, granulated sugar, salt, chili powder, paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, cayenne, cumin and pepper in a bowl. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine turkey, garlic, onion, serrano chiles, chipotle chile, tomato puree, chili powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook on high until turkey is fork-tender, 3 hours (or 6 hours on low).
• Add beans and cook until warmed through, about 30 minutes more. Stir in vinegar and season with salt.

Steps:

• In a slow cooker, combine turkey, beans, tomatoes, chili seasoning, chile peppers, tomato sauce, onion and water. Cook on low 3 to 4 hours. Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. , Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the beans, tomato sauce, tomatoes, water and seasonings. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Discard bay leaves. Garnish with cheese if desired.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. With fingers, carefully loosen skin from the turkey breast; rub half of mixture under the skin. Secure skin to underside of breast with toothpicks. Rub skin with remaining mixture. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan., Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until a thermometer reads 170°. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.) Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before slicing; discard toothpicks.
